London, 1666. As the Great Fire consumes the city, a murdered man is discovered in the ruins of St Paul’s Cathedral with his thumbs bound behind him. James Marwood, whose father’s republican beliefs make the family politically suspect, is ordered to trace the killer through streets transformed by flame and panic.
His investigation brings him into contact with Cat Lovett, the fugitive daughter of a regicide who is determined to escape the future arranged for her. A second body in the Fleet Ditch connects private revenge with the dangerous religious and political divisions surrounding the restored court of Charles II.
